We're looking at booking our tours for our upcoming cruise on the Adv. of the Seas. One excursion that interested us was the America's Cup Sailing Regatta in St. Maarten. However, it's only 3 hours long but costs $84 per person - $168 total for us! Is this excursion worth it?

Yes it's well worth the price if you love sailing. My husband, a small boat winning racer, sailed twice and was enthralled w/the experience. Especially when they got some good winds & could go out on a reach. And, altho there is a ample crew you can participate if you wish.

The America's Cup Sailing Regatta is an excursion offered from Royal Caribbean out of St. Maarten. We will be on the Adv. of the Seas, but, they probably offer it with any other ships that dock there as well. It's a 3 hour excursion that allows you to sail with a crew from a boat that previously participated in the America's Cup race. You can choose to participate in the sailing of the boat or just sit back and relax. No sailing experience required. The cost is $84 per person.

Thanks PatWe are sailors so I wanted to hear what that was all about. If you have good winds, that will be a great experience!! Have you ever sailed before? If not, just know that with good winds, you will heel. You will not turn over and 3hrs will be plenty. Have a great time!!
